Artist Joe Staton and writer Mike Curtis co-author "Dick Tracy," the classic comic strip distributed by Tribune Media Services.
Created by Chester Gould in 1931, "Dick Tracy" is one of America's most-enduring pop-cultural icons, noteworthy for its steadfast, chisel-jawed hero and the gruesome gallery of villains he and his fearless team of Crimestoppers must outwit to put behind bars.
When longtime "Dick Tracy" artist and writer Dick Locher retired from the strip after 32 years of meritorious service, fans Staton and Curtis jumped at the chance to don the yellow fedora and trench coat. Staton has been drawing comic books for many years and has more than 1,000 credits under his belt. Curtis, who has been writing comics since 1986, is the only former law-enforcement officer to work on "Dick Tracy." Both creators are excited about the new--and dangerous--adventures they have in store for Dick Tracy and his Crimestoppers.

That’s quite a scene . . .

Mornin’ VistaBill, Rod, and everyone!
Looks like we were right – Tracy’s trying to recruit CK for the police academy!
Nice artwork again – the Comics Kingdom version looks better. The fireplace doesn’t have blue flames. (And yes, Shadow fans, maybe they’re burning Blue Coal!)

Another reason it doesn’t look like they plan to KILL Pirahna is….Belle could’ve done it right there. Hmmm…..how about they tinker with Cinnamon Knight’s weapon somehow, and make it lethal, and have him kill her? Now THAT would be nasty……

Have a feeling there just might be another “costumed” character showing up to save the day instead of Tracy, though….one you all like!

Well said by Dick Tracy.

Again, this is crazy. I can’t imagine any cop, let alone Dick Tracy, having such a laissez faire attitude toward a costumed vigilante trying to fight crime without any background, training or qualifications in law enforcement.
And the idea that Dick would so casually invite this nut to join the police force? No, they have psychological evaluations to keep glory hounds like the Cinnamon Knight off the force.
At the very least, the guy would have to pass a civil service exam before Dick could even presume to offer him a job.

@fredville
I believe you might be right, fredville! The character we suspect might be Moon Maid cannot be Moon Maid. Think of the chaos it would create for Junior and Sparkle. I suspect that the MM lookalike will make occasional appearances from time-to-time.

While you know I agree with you on this, there’s no point in worrying about it, I’m just going to see where this goes
